“Oh.” Coop thought a moment, the receiver held loosely in his hand. Finally, he said, “I’ll call my sister first.” “Why?” “If anyone can manage this, it’s Toni.” Coop winced. “But she’s going to be annoyed at you. For, you know, letting this happen.” “You’re alive, aren’t you?” “Yes, and I’m quite grateful. And I don’t hold you responsible for this at all. But my sister . . . she won’t be as . . . open-minded. You should prepare for that.” “I’m sure I can handle a She-jackal.” Using his cell phone to call his sister, Coop chuckled, “Yeah. Sure you can.”
Nope, not really, nope --- that sister is nuts.
